All this week on Newsbeat we'll be looking ahead to the new series of The X Factor to find out what happened to some of last year's losing finalists.

Laura White had been one of the favourites to win but ended up going out early in a shock exit ahead of Daniel Evans and Rachel Hylton.

The Bolton girl says she's since been working with Madonna's producer and her new songs definitely won't be what people are expecting. _______________________

You were tipped as a favourite to win but then you went out quite early….

You've been working with Madonna's producer - how did you hook up?

So when X Factor ended how were things left in terms of a record deal - you presumably had the option to be signed to Simon Cowell's company?

And you've been doing something a bit different on your website to promote your new single...

The songs on the website are quite different but they have an electronic, Lady Gaga-type feel to them.

Is this your main job - do you earn enough to make a decent living?

How much do you still get recognised?

Will you watch the new series of X Factor?
